Hi Everyone,
In August and September we are delighted to have Laurie Block Spigel visiting us from New York. Laurie is a highly valued home educator who runs a variety of workshops. She is also the author of 'Education Uncensored: A Guide for the Aspiring, the Foolhardy, and the Disillusioned,' which describes her personal home education experience. Laurie homeschooled her two sons for almost all of their school years. They were both awarded University scholarships and are highly creative young adults with a diverse range of skills and passions.
Laurie is an inspiring educator with a great ability to look at and listen to each learner and to develop a wide variety of activities around each individual's unique interests and passions. Her creativity and empathy delight and inspire the children and teenagers who work with her. There seems to be no end to the vast range of individual and group sessions that she can create. Her parent and teacher workshops are immensely helpful to everyone who believes in child-led learning. Learn more about Laurie and her work at her website: www.HomeschoolNYC.com
